The Casa de la Cultura “Carlos Alonso” in El Rosario, in La Esperanza, hosts the third edition of Jornadas de Arte, opening its exhibition space to the neighborhood residents of the Municipality who make up the Taller de Dibujo y Pintura of the Universidad Popular de El Rosario, coordinated by its professor Elia Estévez, a graduate in Fine Arts from the Universidad de La Laguna. Thus, on Monday, April 6, from 7:00 p.m., it will host the exhibition “El Rosario,” which can be visited until April 30, while on Monday, May 4 through May 28 the collection “Canarias” will remain on display. Both exhibitions can be visited from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Through this initiative the student body of the courses “Dibujo y Pintura” can be encouraged since they can show part of their work to the public. It is worth noting that, unlike previous editions, this year the students themselves chose the themes of the exhibitions. Each student proposed different ideas, which were later put to a vote, resulting in the selections “El Rosario” and “Canarias.” Through the works on display, each artist has interpreted the themes of each exhibition from their own perspective, bringing their personal style and sensitivity, which will yield two exhibitions rich and diverse.
